Most Public land is pretty fair sized, and to think some jackass is that rude and has no values as a hunter to where they can't say "sorry, didnt see you here, I will go over here 100 yards"...I suggest you get to the woods earlier if you "want" that spot so bad.
You must of mis read my post but it stated if I got their before you 2 hours before light, not that I would put my climber up a tree when you were in the stand. Sorry can't just go putting stands up claiming spots on public land. What's stopping someone from putting up enough stands or orange tape per the original post in an area to completely take it over. Should I just not hunt that public land since he has 10 stands hung all over hell and hunts twice a season. Sorry its public land its first come gets the spot. I'll never use your stand but I can hunt the same spot if I get there first. Of course I probably wouldn't unless I knew the guy wasn't using it that day as the chance for my hunt to be ruined would be high. Point of all my post is its public land not your hunting spot
